They were not dramatically necessary. There are two sets of events which propel Romeo and Juliet towards disaster. One is Tybalt's personal quarrel with Romeo, and Mercutio's quarrelsome nature, resulting in the deaths of both of them and Romeo's banishment. The other is Capulet's plan to marry Juliet to Paris, resulting in her panic and willingness to go along with Friar Laurence's harebrained potion scheme. Neither of these involve the Montagues in any way, so we do not see them.
